Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and lemon zest until evenly distributed. Ensure berries are well coated and not squished.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy, sweet top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade berry muffins!
